Since I’m using Ubuntu at home, I choosed Lubuntu 16.04LTS: an Ubuntu based distro with a 
lightweight desktop environment (if ever needed). If you didn’t gave up at this point, I don’t 
need to go into details about the installation, right?

Wireless enthusiasts have been repurposing satellite dishes for a couple years now. This summer 
the longest link ever was established over 125 miles using old 12 foot and 10 foot satellite dishes.

My first choice is Aruba.
If budget is a concern, go with Ubiquity, you can use a VM for your controller.

You need to be aware of best practices when working with ubiquiti:
Build a controller and leave it alone. Installing it on the laptop of the week and then reinstalling every 
time you go on site is unacceptable for a professional deployment.
Configure DNS and DHCP properly so that unifi.localdomain.suffix (as handed out by DHCP) points to your 
controller, and configure option 43 with the IP for your controller.
Run a recent version of the controller so you get the latest firmwares on your AP's! The version on the disc 
is worthless!
That's really it, I have dozens of Unifi's scattered across the globe in two different clouds, one is a VPN 
based infrastructure, the other controller is accessible over the internet. Both are rock solid.

Lots of low-tech household items have been used to boost wi-fi signals, starting with Pringle cans

  and upward. But none have been able to match the decibel gains offered by a Chinese fry basket.

  Asus R6-AC66U Then there’s Asus, which won this contest hardly breaking a sweat. The company 
  simply out-engineered its competition and came up with a best-in-class feature set. Even 
  more amazing is that the RT-AC66U accomplished this in essentially a first-generation 
  product and delivered it at a price point that handily bests its closest competition. 
  For all of the above, we believe the RT-AC66U deserves our infrequently-bestowed Elite award.
